Hi.
In Python 3.2 beta1 & Python 2.7 documentation for the 'argparse'
module the special value 'help' is not listed for the
ArgumentParser.add_argument() function's 'action' parameter.
It causes the argument it is specified for to trigger displaying the
argument parser's help message and also prevents the parser from
complaining about any missing or extra command-line parameters.
Without using this action value it is possible to print out the help
message programmatically using ArgumentParser.print_help() but there is
no way to cause the argument parser to not complaing about missing or
extra command-line parameters.
Best regards,
Jurko Gospodnetić
